Whether you're a fan of games like this or not, Drug Dealer Simulator is evidently getting a fair bit of interest prior to its Xbox arrival - and it's also been wrapped up in controversy over the past week on the Steam platform.
We talked about this exactly seven days ago - it was the story about Schedule 1 being "investigated" ahead of Drug Dealer Simulator's Xbox release. Since then, Drug Dealer Simulator has continued to suffer "overwhelmingly negative" reviews on Steam, and the publisher actually issued a statement to try and cool the controversy.
Here's a bit of what that statement had to say, along with our original story about it below:
The analysis and investigation were necessary in the light of repeating opinions that the games are very similar. By not investigating it, Movie Games, being a publicly traded company, could face severe consequences for negligence.
There is no ill will towards TVGS. We even mailed them best wishes shortly before the release, when the game was already huge, but before the investigation was deemed necessary. However, we are obligated to perform this investigation, act accordingly to the scope of the infringement if it is confirmed, and inform the public about it via ESPI.
